The Shack by William P. Young is a fiction book that encompasses many
themes such as God, religion, faith, pain and forgiveness. The book’s central character is Mackenzie
Allen Philips, known as, Mack. The novel
details the death of Mack’s youngest daughter Missy. Mack takes his three
children on a camping trip. While camping in Oregon’s wilderness, Missy is
abducted and murdered. Mack is very
depressed and sad over Missy death. The unfortunately, great sadness takes
control of Mack’s life. Mysteriously,
the book also describes a letter that is left in Mack’s mailbox with no return
address. Mack states that the letter contains details about God inviting Mack to spending a weekend at The Shack
with Papa (God). This riveting book has
been made into a major motion film. The
movie does a great job depicting the events from the book. As an avid reader, I would suggest this
reading to others who have questions about God, faith, religion, forgiveness
and pain.
